1. Twitter isn't free not yet to be correct a friend had to remove a post.

2. Don't know whether this is true or not

Well I tried to find an English version of the Swedish text EU could Ban Twitter in the entire EU..due to Musk free speech.

Only thing I could find was this

Elon Musk vowed to prioritize free speech as Twitter Inc.’s new owner, but a senior official from the European Union has warned the world’s richest person will still have to contend with the region’s strict content rules, just like any other social media company.

Twitter was flooded with user reports of high-profile accounts’ losing thousands of followers in the hours after news broke that Tesla CEO Elon Musk would purchase the social network. The company said Tuesday that the “fluctuations in follower counts” came from “organic” account closures.

Hope the platform closes up. It is full of hate and vitriol like none other.

Plenty of places to get your daily dose of stochastic terrorism whatever happens to Twitter in the long run. 😐

So the Jaffa rebel against a false God?

It will be interesting to see how he reacts to "free speech" when it is directed against him or counter to his opinions.

Ol’ Elon, having been on this planet for awhile now and assuming he even bothers to spend time wondering what the god social media says. I’m sure would have already reacted.

Even Albert Einstein had to put up with naysayers but only in Germany was his theories discussed, criticized, and defended.

Have fun with authenticate all real humans, Elon! :03:

Could be he underestimated this. Or not?


Also, many users do not buy his diea of "free speech". After the deal became known, twitter saw a wave of mass account deactivations. Most users doing so seem to be worried by it turning even more into a toxic, propagandistic battleground, a trend that was already inherent before, but now pushed people towards a decision.

What does that mean? You are either human or something else. :O:

If he implements a Voight-Kampff Test, make sure you are not positive.

I know. It's like the ads where they say the testimonies are from real people as if actors are not real people.

The ones I remember say that they are testimonies from real customers.

That's the problem with you kids (collective) today, you're having a hard time distinguishing real life from make believe.

Since the Twitter caper I have grown disenchanted with Musk. Yes, I will give him SpaceX, love that. Tesla: jury's still out on that one. Ask me in a year, if the stock bubble still exists. But Mars? Solar panels? Self-driving electric 18-wheelers? Hyperloops? Chips in your brain? He's mostly hot air. I've watched a few skeptic videos and when they showcase his many various tech talks and claims, he's really underdelivered on some wild promises. This video really helps break down his pattern and penchant for attention.

Even Starlink looks untenable as a profit-making enterprise. :(
